Proceedings and Work Products of the SWG-Speaker

The purposes of the Scientific Working Group for Forensic and Investigatory Speaker Recognition are "To support and promote the scientific foundations and practice of speaker recognition, voice data collection, measurement, transmission, and retrieval, through the development and dissemination of consensus-based Formal Standards, SWG-Speaker Guidelines, Best Practices, and recommendations for forensic and investigatory applications. Technical Reports deemed relevant to the mission of SWG-Speaker can also be published under the imprimatur of SWG-Speaker."

SWG-Speaker is researching scientific underpinnings and best practices of forensic and investigatory speaker recognition, including:

Seeking standardization and harmonization of appropriate SWG-Speaker standards and work products.

SWG-Speaker is in the process of transitioning to the Organization for Scientific Area Committees (OSAC), which covers many forensic disciplines including speaker recognition under the general umbrella of NIST Forensic Sciences. We recommend that interested viewers go to http://www.nist.gov/forensics/osac.cfm in order to learn more about the upcoming OSAC Subcommittee for Speaker Recognition and other Scientific Area Committees and subcommittees.
